Due in – Wednesday 19th October
In year 5, homework is differentiated. Your child will be told which section they should do. Please check with the class teacher if they are unsure.
Literacy:

Super Challenge: Can you write a story that uses every one of these words? Please underline or highlight the words you have used. The story can be about anything you wish!
Reading:
Please let us know if you have read a good book lately and you think it might be a ‘good read’ for someone else in our class. Perhaps you have an author to recommend? We would love to display your reviews and recommendations in our class book corners!
Numeracy:
For all – We have been practising reading large numbers.
For example:

fifty six
Practise these with someone at home. Say them – write them.

Creative Homework
As I am sure you know, we have been learning about space this term. Your child has learnt a lot about the planets in our Solar System. This term’s creative homework is to make a planet of your choice. Try to think outside the box – what could you make it out of? Could you challenge yourself to create the entire Solar System? Could you use recycled materials? How big or small will your planet be? Could you ask someone at home to help you? Would you rather create an imaginative, fictional planet of your own – draw it and write about it. You could even add an alien species!
The due in date for the creative homework is Friday 25th November.
